About

The plethora of needs of trafficked and sexually exploited persons extend beyond the capacity of any single agency or service provider. A multidisciplinary team model of investigation and treatment for child abuse and neglect has proven to be successful and can be very useful in the field of human trafficking.

In this presentation Dr. Jordan Greenbaum, Director of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children’s Global Child Health and Well Being Initiative, will discuss child and adult sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of children.

She will focus on risk factors, common indicators, and challenges to the identification of trafficked persons. She will discuss the impact of complex trauma and traumatic stress on trafficked persons and then evaluate the advantages of a trauma-informed approach to working with survivors. Finally, she will describe common survivor needs and ways a multidisciplinary team can work together to meet them.

Panelists will also include key members of the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force:
